When Rob Kenney was just 14 years old, his life took a difficult turn. His father, the man who was supposed to guide him through the challenging years of adolescence, walked away, leaving Rob to navigate life without a mentor during some of his most formative years.

However, instead of letting this painful experience define him, Rob chose to use it as fuel for his mission. He transformed the void left by his father into a purpose: to become the kind of father figure he never had for others. In April 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, he launched a YouTube channel called “Dad, How Do I?” The goal was simple: to teach men (and anyone who needed it) the essential life skills many never had the chance to learn growing up.

Rob’s lessons are rooted in practical skills that every man should know but may never have been shown. From the seemingly small yet important tasks like:

• 🪒 Shaving properly

• 👔 Tying a tie

• 🚗 Checking engine oil

• 🚽 Fixing clogged toilets

• 🧠 Being kinder to oneself

Rob’s YouTube channel became a beacon of support for millions. His calm demeanor, straightforward instructions, and genuine care for his viewers resonated deeply with his audience. What started as a small idea for a few followers quickly exploded in popularity, particularly during the isolated months of the pandemic.

In just a few weeks, “Dad, How Do I?” amassed over 3 million subscribers, and Rob’s message reached far beyond YouTube. His story and advice began to spread across major media platforms, including:

• Good Morning America

• The Today Show

• The Kelly Clarkson Show

• CBS News

Rob’s message is simple, yet powerful: “I just wanted to be the dad I never had.” His authenticity and commitment to helping others overcome their own struggles has made him an unexpected yet powerful role model.

In addition to his YouTube success, Rob has written a book titled “Dad, How Do I? Practical Advice and Encouragement for You,” which further expands on his mission to support people with life lessons and emotional guidance.

While Rob’s journey started with personal pain, he has turned it into a source of strength for others. What began as a way for him to heal himself has blossomed into an invaluable resource for millions of people around the world. Rob Kenney didn’t just find a way to heal, he became the healing force for an entire generation.

Sometimes, the most powerful role models are born from pain. Rob Kenney’s story proves that in embracing his own struggles, he helped to heal the hearts of many. 🌍❤️
